Lend it like Leno

A phrase used to describe a situation in which a person gives something away to a friend, only to forcibly take it back by any means necessary a short while later.

Named after Jay Leno, who convinced NBC to "buy out" Conan O'brien, who took over hosting "The Tonight Show" after Leno "quit," so that Leno could have his old job back.
Jim - "Dude, remember that computer I gave you?"

Bob - "Yea, works great. Thanks!"

Jim - "Right...well, the new computer I got broke down. I'm taking my old one back"

Bob - "That's messed up, fool. All you did was lend it like Leno!"

John Lennon

John Lennon seems to be the beatle that is everyone's least favorite which is understandable. But behind all of that rude and hatefulness was a very sweet, caring, and loving man who was just afraid of showing it because he was titled the tough Beatle. Sure, he might not have showed it too much but John Lennon very much loved his friends and family. He was also a hottie.
John Lennon was actually a very kind, generous man.
